I am often cold, Peter would say “always.” However, I would argue that I did get too warm living without A/C in Germany and during the summer here in our apartment with its goofy air circulation. When I get cold, especially my feet, I feel as though I’ll never be warm again. It takes layersRead More

Bright Birthday Wishes for Our Rainbow
Once upon a time, I dreamed of having a little girl who looked just like me. Three years ago, that dream began coming true. I didn’t see it right away, but every day since, I see more of me reflected back in my sweet Rainbow Baby, Madilynn Janet. Like her namesake grandmother, Janet Lynn,Read More

The Best Part of Waking Up…
Lately, in the wee hours before Peter’s alarm wakes us, his work phone begins pinging with notifications. Emails of cancelled or rescheduled meetings, new cases for his workload, or reminders about a pressing matter on one of his current cases lead to less rest and more stress at times. Occasionally, he has time to snoozeRead More

SQT: The Sticky, Holey, Delicious, and Exciting
This week is full of ups and downs. I am struggling a little to remain positive for this installment of seven quick takestakes, because the down part is so big.

The superstition of sleep deprivation
It is a myth, a complete superstition that one can catch up on sleep. How do I know? Even after attempting to catch up by taking a much-needed nap (as often as I can arrange it), I’m still tired. Sometimes, even more exhausted than when I started. I often fall asleep with great difficulty. StayingRead More

What Will my Future Be?
After looking back last week and remembering the past, this week we look forward. Imagining the distant future has always been a challenge for me. I cannot picture or even fathom what life might be like in a year or two or ten. Even though I cannot visualize how everything will go, I still setRead More

Wacky Wednesday: A Comedic Review
Some days simply do not go as planned or they get started much later than intended or you just don’t wanna. That is an adequate summary of the week. Dietrich bounces into my bed a few minutes after Peter leaves, ready for the day, and I can barely open my eyes. I practically beg himRead More
